Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates but is less than 2 miles away

This is the fifth in the series of KenKen™ puzzles. The other puzzles in this series are Mathdoku - Easy, Mathdoku – Medium, Mathdoku - Hard and Mathdoku - (not) Hard. These puzzles are a combination of logic and basic math.

I succeeded to thwart the on-line solver in Mathdoku - (not) Hard but due to the (3 prime) numbers used, this made the puzzle not hard to solve. This is my second attempt at creating another Hard puzzle.

The puzzle grid is 7x7 but the number 7 is not used and the number 8 has been added. In other words, the seven numbers used to fill in the squares are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8.

I personally think this puzzle is easier than Mathdoku – Hard.

There is room for very small trade items and GC's. Don't forget to bring your pen.

Enjoy and most of all have fun!

The cache is located at N37 2A.B9C W121 5D.E9F
